12/31/2006 - I saw the New Years Ghost
I saw a ghost this News Years Eve when I looked in the mirror.
It looked just like me.
After that, I started seeing ghosts all around me.
When you go out this New Years, look around at the people.
Picture them as if you watching them in a video filmed 100 years ago.
Notice how much we all look alike, how well we get along, and how we all seem to be related.
Don't look at our differences.
Look are how much we have in common.
Pretend you lost your long term memory?
Ever see a picture of a Great Great relative that looked just like you?
Ever talked to someone who thought just like you?
If you can think like me for just a moment
Imagine that when we die, we don't go anywhere.
Imagine the we are all reincarnations of our ancestors, without their memories.
Imagine that it goes much deeper than that. Imagine we are all the reincarnations of the dinosaurs and further back. 
Is it just me, or doesn't life just seem too obvious?
Animals, birds, fish, insects, we all have the same organs.
We all must be related.
We were born with knowledge.
It came from someone. It probably came from our parents.
Nature could have populated our memories with that of our ancestors but for whatever reason, it didn't.
Who knows, maybe we'd still be arguing about how someone sacrificed our favorite lamb or something...
If you think like I do, you'll know that all life on Earth is related. Given enough time, we all come back.
